Our Poppy

We are heartbroken at having to say goodbye to our beautiful
little doggy, Poppy.

Poppy was a small cross terrier we brought home from the
rescue centre over ten years ago. We were told she was around five and half
when she joined our family, vets never questioned this, but there were thoughts
she might have been older. It didn’t matter to us, I fell in love with her the
moment I saw her.

She was a feisty doggy, an alpha female, who let all the
dogs in the neighbourhood know she was the boss. Years later when we took
another rescue dog, Poppy made sure he knew she was in charge.

From the moment Barney
joined our family he loved her and worshiped her. He was always happy when she
told him off as he would run around the house going back for more attention from Poppy.

Having this little doggy in our lives made the sun shine on
the darkest of days. She made us smile and brought so much joy. She loved to
walk and never worried how far we went, we used to joke to people who would
stop and want to pat her, that she was a Great Dane when we got her! She was
more than a pet she was a member of our family. And now, our family has a loved
one missing. Barney looks for her and we can’t tell him she’s not here. Losing
her has left a huge hole in our hearts, we miss her beyond words, but we know
she is now at peace.

The hardest thing is not losing someone you love, it is having
to live without them for the rest of your life.

I'm literally welling up with tears as I read this, Pauline. It's so incredibly hard losing a member of the family, but know that she is at peace now and preparing for a journey of another kind.Huge hugs PaulineSuzy xxxx
